EUR 200 billion of frozen Russian assets are held in a bank in Belgium.

Omissions

• The precise figure for Russian assets held in Belgium (by Euroclear) was about €193 billion as of September 2026, not €200 billion — a difference of roughly 3-4%.
• The entity holding the assets is Euroclear, a securities depository/clearing house, not a 'bank' and not 'Eurojust' (which is the EU's judicial cooperation agency and holds no such assets).
• The €200 billion figure is often used loosely for the EU-wide total of immobilised Russian assets (approximately €210 billion); the Belgian share is somewhat lower at ~€193 billion.
